How would you play this hole?

[jakee]

This is hole 6 at my home course in American Fork, UT. What line and type of shot would you use on this hole? Just thought it would be fun to get some different perspectives/ideas.


This is the view from the teepad.


Halfway up.


There she is!


A little better view.

I still have yet to make it all the way up from the tee. Couple doinks off the wall though.

How long is it and how high is the ceiling?

[roman]

Depending on the distance/ceiling I would throw my really flippy Comet or my really flippy Assassin on a hyzerflip line. There was a similar hole (more elevation, more trees in the way) that I played in Missouri and I had to throw my Assassin to get all the way up there even though it was only about 230ft.

[jakee]

Approximately 230 ft. Pretty high ceiling in the winter. Less so in the summer. Prob around 35 ft I would guess.

[Smigles]

Well, the simple answer is buzzz, straight, flat, at about 3 feet above wall height.

Execution is another thing I would probably end up hitting the wall, approaching and then putting for 3.

[jakee]

^ Exactly what I do with my Spider. Kinda scary though sometimes cause it's all hard packed dirt and I've hit the wall and rolled all the way back down before.

[JR]

Substituting something with way more glide while fading as little or less uphill reduces the power requirement immensely thus possibly increasing your accuracy and repeatability. Buzzz would be good, possible tweener discs between mids and fairway drivers could work too. Kite, Storm and Squall come to mind as possibilities. Kite and Storm from experience Squall from hearsay.

Hehe. That would be awesome.

P-MD2 straight down the middle.

First thought is a straight flying putter... probably a Wizard. If that didn't make it far enough I'd probably try an Opto River.

But I'd guess a Wizard would make it within putting range off the tee sans any trees.

[jakee]

I just got a Wizard a week or two ago. 175g soft. I LOVE it. Haven't played my home course with it yet though. I'll have to try that. The Wiz is quickly becoming my favorite disc.

[Itchy]

I know I thought it was hokie to play a course with only my putter, but I've done it a few times with my friends and it really taught me a thing or two about the flight profile of my putters and just how surprisingly far they can fly. 200-250 straight laser beam shots (what I used to use an understable mid for) are great with a Wizard. I actually line drived a 120-ish foot putt that was supposed to be an approach with my Wizard yesterday morning with my Wizard for an eagle.

My only concern is getting it over that wall... you might need more glide, so my second recommendation was the River.

But yeah, give your Wizard a try.

[JHern]

Easy answer: flip a Mako, beat up Buzzz, or similar up from hyzer to flat and straight through that gap to the basket. So long as you hit the gap and get through, any errors on your throw will still leave you with a chance at deuce.

[masterbeato]

i would play a flat hyzer, nose up at the end with a wasp.
